WTB RIMS MY2017 EUROPEAN PRODUCTION
TCS TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) technology is the solution for riders seeking high performance, lightweight and durable mountain bike wheel systems that are easy to install, fun to ride and simple to service.
SEALANT
TCS Sealant allows for the use of a lightweight tire casing while providing superior flat protection.
ON-RAMP
WTB's On-Ramp provides a consistent fit between rim and tire for easy installation and inflation.
BEAD LOCK
TCS bead shape and diameter provide superior fit and retention.
RIM TAPE
TCS Rim Tape allows for the use of traditional wheel building components while still providing an air-tight seal.
THE BENEFITS OF TCS SIMPLE.
With ultimate control over the rim and tire fit, TCS products ensure the installation process is simple. With the use of a floor pump, no special tools are required making the process as easy as installing an inner tube.
SMART.
TCS uses standardized specifications to enable industry wide compatibility. Riders can combine WTB TCS products with any UST compliant product. The proprietary “On-Ramp” found on TCS rims allows easy tire mounting. Our “Bead Lock” ensures that the tire stays locked onto the rim even in the most rugged riding conditions. TCS tire sealant, rim tape and our removable core valve complete a lightweight system.
FUN.
TCS technology enables riders to maximize the ride experience on the trail. Reduced tire pressure improves traction and control while sealant tubeless usage eliminates pinch flats, ensuring time spent having fun riding rather than repairing trail side.

WTB TCS RIMS & WHEELS
UST COMPLIANT RIMS & WHEELS
• Tubeless with WTB rim tape, sealant and valve
• Tubeless with WTB rim tape and sealant
• Tube-type with rim tape and innertube
• Tube-type with rim tape and innertube
ISO/ETRTO TUBE-TYPE RIMS & WHEELS • Only use for tube-type application
WTB TCS TIRES
UST TIRE
• Tubeless with WTB rim tape, sealant and valve
• Tubeless with WTB rim tape and sealant
• Tube-type with rim tape and innertube
• Tube-type with rim tape and innertube
ISO/ETRTO TUBE-TYPE TIRES • Only with innertubes
• Never use tubeless with or without sealant
1. UST rims and wheels have UST compliant bead seat specifications. 2. If you have a rim or wheel that is not UST or ISO/ETRTO compliant, it should not be used with TCS tires.
1. ISO/ETRTO tires should only be used with tubes. 2. An ISO/ETRTO tires should not be used tubeless with or without sealant. 3. An ISO/ETRTO tire is a tube-type tire produced to work with 559mm (26”) or 662mm (29”) diameter rims.

UNBENDIUM BULGE: An additional band of aluminum added to the rim sidewall that improves torsional, radial and lateral strength. This rib, which replaces the braking surface, provides an impressive boost in rigidity with a negligible difference in weight. This WTB innovation is found exclusively on on STp rims. TCS: TCS wheels, rims, and tires provide sealant tubeless with complete compatibility to international standards.

The tubeless compatible TCS rim profile is especially designed for TCS or UST tires and is also compatible with tube type tires when used with tubes. TCS rim profiles feature superior tire retention capabilities. When mounting a TCS or UST tire on a TCS rim profile very little initial air pressure force is required to inflate the tire. In most cases a small mini hand pump will provide ample air flow for inflation.
SIDEWALL INDICATOR: This featurefound on DX rims - is a groove in the braking surface that, when it no longer exists, indicates that the rim needs to be replaced due to sidewall wear from the use of rim brakes.
DOUBLE WALL: Carefully selected rim wall thickness along with a “Box” section allows for a strong, yet light rim.
ON-RAMP: Exclusively on STp and XC19 rims, this feature provides a consistent fit between rim and tire for easy installation and inflation.
ISO COMPLIANT: For use with tube type tire and inner tube.
PINNED: Oversized pins for stiffness and strength.
